Authentically funny comedy podcasts are a rarity. Authentically funny comedy 
podcasts that are scripted are even more unique. Daves of Thunder was both: a 
show about two Daves— Dave Dameshek and David Feeney— that revolved around 
their lives and their supposed friendship. Sometimes the show was candid and 
sometimes the show was scripted, and the magic came from that nebulous divide 
as the listener was often left wondering what was real and what was fake. 

David Feeney talked about his sexual prowess. Dave Dameshek talked about his 
three consecutive Connect Four championships. Producer 'Jacuzzi Pete' divulged 
his radical and often concerning thoughts about 9/1 1, the assassination of 
President Kennedy, and Paul O'Neill. The show was about everyday life, about the 
mundane and the extraordinary. It was a masterpiece. Daves of Thunder is a once- 
in-a-lifetime podcast that all fans of good comedy will enjoy.

met Adam Carolla, and subsequently starred on The Adam Carolla Show. After 
being fired from there in December 2006, Dameshek went on to host a number of 
his own sports radio shows across several networks before starting Daves of 
Thunder with his close friend David Feeney.

I'd never heard of this before and I love it. Thanks for putting this out. 
Where can I find the original shows?

There's no official archive at this time (we're working on getting permission 
to open an official archive) but there are some unofficial sites that you can 
find if you Google what you're looking for.

Thanks for putting this together. This is fantastic. 

One question - did the Feeney serenade of Mo Dameshek not make your 
best of? I'll put you on that Shame Report.

@Anonymous - The Feeney/Mo Dameshek bit is certainly included; we just 
didn't include it in the timestamps above. :)

if I may be a bit audacious, might I suggest Dave and Joel's Fast Karate for 
the Gentleman as a contestant for you fine program. They're really funny, 
they talk about games and stuff.

Yeah, this was a great podcast while it lasted. Some of the bits were 
gutbustingly funny.

9 Was Jacuzzi Pete really Donny? Their voices were similar. I could never tell 
for sure.

@Trevor 

Their voices were kind of similar but no Jacuzzi Pete is his own person. His 
real name is Peter Folk or something like that.
